Kitty-Bea bunting

 Good Morning everyone

This week my 2nd youngest niece is 7.  At the moment she is really into garden birds so instead of a card I made some bunting with her name on and lots of lovely birds. 



Trying to get a decent photo of this not been so easy.  This is it hung up - ive left the ribbon long on one end so that they can adjust it if need be for hanging up, then they can trim the excess.


As Kitty-Bea has an unique name its always nice to make something with her name on it.  She also has an abstract art style so the funky colours of these digi birds are ideal for her. 

They are Mixed Media Birds clipart from etsy shop Double Helix digitals   I printed onto digital printer paper, cut them out and sealed with mod podge.  I flipped some of them before printing and printed at different sizes so that i could have them looking at each other like a pair etc...

I made a box using feather printed kraft card and used a tag I had left over from the bunting






I used a couple of beads on the ends of the bunting for some interest. I die cut the cross stitch effect fishtail banner dies from 350gsm kraft card.  I found a very old paper pad in my stash which has some of Kitty-Beas fav colours and went well with the birds. These i die cut into a smaller banner and adhered to the kraft card.  Circles die cut from the off cuts and alphas die cut from white and kraft card, matted together with a drop shadow and covered in glossy accents to give an enamelled finish. 

As well as the panels with the alpha's on I added a blank panel each end so i could add a bigger bird.  I added bronze effect eyelets and used organza ribbon to join it all together. 

Ive used different birds on each panel.  Although they aren't real to life colours you can easily tell by the shape and stance of each bird which type they are based on.  Kitty-Bea is lucky that where they live they get alot of different garden birds.
I added a small touch of stickles glitter glue to each bird just to add a little sparkle as what little girl doesn't love sparkle

Double Helix Digitals - Mixed Media birds clip art

  8. What a great gift! I think this bunting will last a long time. I made one for my granddaughter and it's still hanging now after 4 years. Great design with these stitched flags and I also love the ribbon you used to tie them together. Amazing birds and it's so beautiful how you presented them. Each flag is just unique. Wonderful work!
